April 18, 1985 was my 35th birthday.
Not many birthday presents last almost 23 years!

I've dreamed about one since they released it in 1985. I was 17, living in Brazil, and dreaming was all I could do about it. I got mine exactly a month ago, in dec/07, so that probably makes me the person who had owned a vmax for the shortest time. Sometimes go to the garage just to stare at it with a smile in my face... My other bike is a 1983 VT750C honda shadow.

Bill,What number is your 1985?

Hi there,

who is owning the oldest V-MAX??

is it known? maybe there's a list or anything?

it can be figured out according the frame number.

the last digits of the first frame-number was 000101
next 102 and so on.

it will be nice to know how many of our old

steel-pigs are still driving around.

with regards

I just picked up my 85 project bike and the number is 000771 so that should make mine the 671 bike made.

As a side note, the 000771 bike was made in Jan of 85, and I also have a frame from Feb of 85 and that number is 0003409
I also have one of Morley's frames from a 96 that is in the 13000's and my 02 was in the 84606.

I would like to know who has the newest VMax 1st gen VMax and we may be able to get a decent idea of the production numbers that way.

How about the oldest V-Max rider? I will be 64 in January. :Sad:

There was a nice Max for sale over here recently the owner was selling it as he was too old , he was 62 . Then another rider aged 68 said he still owned his and still rode it .:clapping:

 

[gunrunner]

Just had a look at mine its 004320 so thats 4219th .:clapping:
So by looking at other numbers would this be the production numbers for all of them or just the year ?

I believe that possibly the lowest serial # 1985 V-max could be the original Cycle World test bike that was used in the initial road test and also the "Taking it to the nines" test that had Jay Gleason doing the riding. That bike was sold to Sandy Kosman of Kosman Specialties after the testing, and as of a few years ago he still owned the bike.
